Carbon Fiber Driveshaft

hc_416 · 04-22-2014, 04:48 PM

Hey guys, I have a 2008 g37s coup six speed, and am looking to get a Carbon fiber driveshaft. I don't want a aluminum because of the vibration problems. I did find one on eBay, but they don't have my model year and want me to measure under my car so they can make it to spec.... I am not confident in my ability to do this. So I would like to know if anyone knows were I can get a carbon fiber driveshaft, or have reliable measurements. Thanks in advance

P.S. I tried to post on myg37 forums, but it would not let me, so I can here. I also got a lot of good advice here and respect the options. !! AKA South bend clutch set up, CSC, thou I disagree on the Stillen headers

I don't have anything specific to add to this thread other than I probably wouldn't buy a drive shaft off ebay

The driveshaft shop. Give them a call and see what they've got.

EBAY + DRIVESHAFT = JUNK....

Since we have a carbon composite shaft stock, we probably won't be much help.

If their one piece AL one is almost $700, I can only think what a CF one will cost.

Thanks guys people see eBay and think junk. I look at it as is it the right part and who makes it. It was driveshaft shop one ebay so.... The problem is they only have a CFD for 09 and up, I would have to measure which would be hard for me. Chuck you work at the driveshaft shop? Maybe you can help me out with any ideas on what I could do.

hc_416 · 04-22-2014, 06:14 PM

Also they had it on there for

Driveshaft Shop INSH2 C Carbon Fiber CV Driveshaft Infiniti G37 | eBay
but for 09 and up...

No, I don't work there.

I gave you an idea- give them a call and ask them since we have no idea since we already have one stock. If you can't measure it for some reason, take it to a shop and have them do it.

What year is your car and are you AT?

hc_416 · 04-22-2014, 07:43 PM

Sorry Chuck that was my fault. Also my car is a 2008 g37s 6 MT RWD.

jwick · 04-22-2014, 07:58 PM

I can't see why your car would be any different than a 2009 if you have a MT. Same tranny, same pumkin

hc_416 · 04-22-2014, 08:09 PM

Me either, but when I talked to the guy he said there must be a difference, that and the reason they have the 09-13 is customer's went out measured and then they made it. He also said they don't have one for the 08 because no one went and measured. I also asked him what was the difference, but he said not sure.

Isn't the whole assembly longer on the G37? Or am I not reading the comments correctly?

Yes it is and its a two piece but I have a G37 and I don't know any differences between 2008 and 2009 that impact driveshaft.
